Up, down, swerve, swerve
There goes a skateboarder around a curve.
Left he goes, right he went
He skates for long, much time is spent.
Then it's off to the park when evening sets
No worries at all, no chores, no pets.
Finally, he goes home to play his drums
A professional drummer he would like to bcome.
He's late to bed and early to rise
It puts stress on his already-bloodshot eyes
After a while, he finally awakes
He heads down to breakfast, coffee and pancakes.
He looks out the window and stares at the sun.
Another great day has just begun.
He picks up his board and runs out the door
After one great adventure, he's hungry for more.
